Word on the Street ~ Monochrome

One of my favourite things to do is look at pictures of how people put things together and people watch in real life. When all the fashion weeks start I am often more impressed with the street style pictures then what is sashaying down the ramps. This is probably because the street style is more real, these are real girls often wearing clothes that I can afford. I had so much fun choosing some monochrome street style snaps that I had far too many and had to cull my collection to the below choices. These images can help you when you try and style up your monochrome looks they range from smart to casual and fun and flirty.

The first look is one of the simple more basic looks, black bottoms with a white top or blazer, it may be simple but it’s still effective.

Work the all white look like these ladies, just the smallest hint of black turns it Monochrome.

Think about the details and textures, add a pop of colour either neon or a primary colour like red, mix it up with leather and studs.

Find a friend or partner and dress up Ying and Yang.

Patterns are fun and add an extra dimension, be bold be brave be daring.
